: OK, I installed it. Doesn't seem to work with TV 5. There are individual
: files where RealPlayer takes over, but there is no sound in RP. This problem
: also exists for BBC World. Quick Time, VLC and Mplayer don't have any
: problem with sound when playing files (don't know about streaming media).

Flip4Mac misses a few things, e.g. the WMV 9 Advanced codec and
lots of newer DRM'd junk.
